Batman: Arkham Knight gets first patch

Warner Bros. And Rocksteady issued a patch for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight that promises to fix certain things that were broken, but this patch is not the performance patch that many are waiting on.

Here are the release notes of this initial patch:

Fixed a crash that was happening for some users when exiting the game

Fixed a bug which disabled rain effects and ambient occlusion. We are actively looking into fixing other bugs to improve this further

Corrected an issue that was causing Steam to re-download the game when verifying the integrity of the game cache through the Steam client

Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when turning off Motion Blur in BmSystemSettings.ini. A future patch will enable this in the graphics settings menu

And here's a list of key issues the developers are working on right now:

Support for frame rates above 30FPS in the graphics settings menu

Fix for low resolution texture bug

Improve overall performance and framerate hitches

Add more options to the graphics settings menu

Improvements to hard drive streaming and hitches

Address full screen rendering bug on gaming laptops

Improvements to system memory and VRAM usage

NVIDIA SLI bug fixes

Enabling AMD Crossfire

NVIDIA and AMD updated drivers
